Farmers Market Scavenger Hunt
Fill the Canoe School Supply Drive
Thanks to your generosity, $6529 was raised and will be matched!
This will help provide further supplies for many of our FWPS students.
We love partnering with the annual Red Canoe Credit Union Fill the Canoe School Supply Drive. They will match donations dollar for dollar! This year will look quite different for our students. They will partner with Communities in Schools to purchase and distribute supplies. Thank you!

Save the Farm — Update!
Two years ago this month, the Save the Farm team (FW Parks Dept, We Love Our City, Todd Beamer DECA, Boy Scouts, Starbucks, and community friends, leaders & family) began working to restore the Hylebos Blueberry Farm. Teams weeded, mowed, fertilized, spread compost& removed blackberries. Hundreds of volunteer hours have paid off! We are delighted to be enjoying a huge crop of berries this year. It’s rewarding to watch our community come and pick berries, enjoy the park and explore the new connector trail (extension of the Hylebos Trail).
Special thanks to Jim & Donna Cox (Light of Christ Community Garden founders and master gardeners) for their guidance and donations of time, fertilizer, and masons bees, and for hosting the pruning event.

That’s a WHOLE LOT OF FOOD going out to our community. THANKS to all who make this happen each week!
